As it is, I have seen no indication of a glut of OP materials. There are no offers in the trade forum for "OP mat to trade for xxx sup mats", or even "q250 rubbarn jeweler's tool for sale, make offer."
Making the mats substantially less common would possibly increase PvP opportunities, but I think the most likely result would be even stronger alliances because the mats would become even more of a reward than they are now.
OP battles haven't been guild v. guild for as long as I have played, and I don't think that's going to change.

Bitttymacod (atys) As it is, I have seen no indication of a glut of OP materials. There are no offers in the trade forum for "OP mat to trade for xxx sup mats", or even "q250 rubbarn jeweler's tool for sale, make offer." The trade forum is dead, I would not take it as indicator of anything really. Use the op registry app and try to trade with op owners directly, that could get you closer to a balanced image...

Not long ago I pVosted a WTB to trade forum, asking for OP mat, especially rubbarn 200 and 250, armilo 250, and tekorn up to 200 (expecting to get tekorn 250 was always quite unreasonable, even with much smaller population, so I was not making a fool out of me asking for). I offered what an independant neutral could offer, namely occupation produce q60 and q70, and digging service of grind materials - exchange rates matter of negotiation. The reaction was amazing ... exactly zero, null, nothing.So you really mean that was because "trade forum is dead"? Or is it rather that stuff like OP mat is in no way abundant, rather scarce already, so that it does not go into public trade channels?

Let's consider the current situation: there are excessively many OP mats going around. The average guild has 5-10 active members in a week (again, it's a line in the sand, some have more, some less), and an item lasts certainly more than a week. What if OP mats were enough for just the owning guild, then? Let's say .. 7 q250 rubbarn per month, or 10 q200, 13 q150 and so on.This suddenly slashes the motives behind the bigger alliance (whichever it is at the moment), because the more you grow the more difficult it is to share fairly or effectively.
I believe there is an alternative route. Recently we saw marauders attack a karavan outpost. Kami were present on both sides of the fighting (although kami were kicked from the marauder side).
I would hope to see deals, bargains, alliances etc. being struck between guilds of different factions as this would create uncertainty of numbers and hopefully generate more OP wars. An added bonus to this is that everyone would have the opportunity to get involved in any OP war, not just the two clashing factions.

Not all kami were kicked - only the 1 ... so 2 kami guilds were accepted by Mauro - made a team of us, not a full team tho - think 2 kami fought side-by-side with karavan *is sick in a bag*

Some of us just like fighting - scarce resources would not matter really compared with pleasure of murdering karavan/matis :D
I like the novel approach to solving the lack of OP wars however I do not see this working. Reducing OP mats I believe will not stop kami guilds supporting other kami guilds (same for other factions).
The only way for this to change is for a 3rd faction to get involved. I would hope to see deals, bargains, alliances etc. being struck between guilds of different factions as this would create uncertainty of numbers and hopefully generate more OP wars.

Mjollren -- If there was a surplus of OP materials, reducing them slightly might be a good idea. As it is, I have seen no indication of a glut of OP materials. There are no offers in the trade forum for "OP mat to trade for xxx sup mats", or even "q250 rubbarn jeweler's tool for sale, make offer." Making the mats substantially less common would possibly increase PvP opportunities, but I think the most likely result would be even stronger alliances because the mats would become even more of a reward than they are now. OP battles haven't been guild v. guild for as long as I have played, and I don't think that's going to change. In short, this is a horrid idea. I'd be more inclined to support the numbers limitations (and that's a pretty horrible idea, too.)IMHO, YMMV, etc.
